Hello all,
I want to use this section of the Alembic-Club to introduce myself. Actually I joined the Club already in 2004 (the time I purchased my first alembic) but when you´re self-employed it´s tricky to find enough time for music.
During the late 80´s and early 90´s I tried to play bass professionally and I also lived from music for a number of years. I gave up bass playing but still kept some instruments and around 2004-2006 I played again for a while in a bigband.
Attached is an image of the late 80´s where I was playing headless (before my love affair with Alembic started).
With my very small hands bass playing was always a hard Job, which became easier when I´ll purchased a SJ Standard in 2004. Really, this was perfect for me… …the only short scale bass that sounds really good (except of course all other short scale alembics
).
I kept this bass over the years and now, after moving to a new place, I have all my old basses brought out again to be played every day…
Best regards from Germany!
Claus
